Our Cooper is the only one of three Westies we have that watches TV. He’s especially interested in dogs, and that’s not really surprising. But he also becomes very concerned when humans act as though they’re in trouble. Heavy breathing, showing strong emotions, crying, etc. Kind of amazing, really.
Oh my gosh my Scottie loved TV with animals, especially dogs. She could even recognize dogs when they were just cartoons. It was amazing. Loved the video.
That is sooooo cute. It's amazing how all dogs share similar behaviors but they also have their own unique characteristics. He's a sweetie pie for sure!
My westie passed away under anaethetic 6 weeks ago. He was only 5. I've cried every day since then. The light in my life has disappeared. Rest well my sweet little fella Herbie. Treasure westies, they are the best.
+rob p I'm so sorry for your grief, just thinking about when I may lose my 8yr old Westie, Barney, in the future can bring a tear to my eye. We know we will usually outlive our pets - it's the almost inevitable part of pet ownership - but it doesn't make their loss any bearable. I'm sure you have wonderful memories of your boy and with time those memories will make you smile, rather than cry. I sincerely wish you happier times for the future.
I am so sorry. PLEASE PLEASE consider asap getting another one ( better still 2 ! ) as it is NOT disrespectful and you will STILL have all your fantastic memories but you, as a great Owner, can fill the void to giving a lovely home to another one and it will stop any dwelling negatively.
I have had 5 and the longest fap was 3 weeks as I dwelt and was sad and then transferred all my rnergy into the new one. You still have all your wonderful memories of your lovely pet rob.
My Westie always watched TV. He would bark his head off at any animal - not just dogs. He often didn't like background music either. He had a great, happy, spoiled life and lived to be just over 14 years old. Best dogs but stubborn!! Love Westies!!
Our 11 year old westie watches t v all the time !!! She has her own full size chair she love and she recognizes the music from certain commercials that have dogs in them . When the music plays , she could be in the back bedroom and she'll run and sits in front of the t v waiting for the dog to come on so she can bark in recognition .
Just came across this video. I too had a westie named Molly who watched tv all the time. Infact she new the intro to certain shows or adverts that had animals in them. We had to let her go April '17 aged 18yrs. Miss her so much. That little dog gave me the best 18yrs of my life. Full of love. She will be a hard act to follow. I hope your little Molly still going stronge and still watching tv. 👩
So fascinating that the movie held his attention. I think it has to do with the jobs they were breed and used for. Besides hunting they were also used in herding cattle from the meadows and glens. They are a smart breed.
I am so sorry.Nroke mt heart when I lost my first one 20 years ago and I gor 4 Westies within 3 weeks which eased the pain 100%. PLEASE consider asap getting another one ( better still 2 ! ) as it is NOT disrespectful and you will STILL have all your fantastic memories but you, as a great Owner, can fill the void to giving a lovely home to another one and it will stop any dwelling negatively.
I just read your post sorr for your loss. I lost my westie around the same time u did same age. I had my daughter around the last 6 yrs of his life they had made a great bond when he passed I didnt want another right away I needed some time my wife became a dog lover when we started dating because it was a package deal. My daughter was 6 and she was devastated. We were both hurting and my wife found us a new pup and made me go pick one......... Best thing she could have done the great thing about it is you remember the good times of your old dog but know this new guy we have now hes 4 and totally different then our last dog but in a good way just different they all love you the same.
moe dawg Happy to here you picked up a new pal I also have A very energetic And Quite different one from the last can’t keep her out of the pool and she is a great Companion love Westies
As the mama of a LWD I so enjoyed this! Your entertainment center is as bashed up as our windowsill (watching squirrels and the daily arrival of that darn Mailman!!!) Thanks for sharing. XO
Our Westie Millie also loves watching TV... Although she almost gets too excited when watching nature programs! I've never heard about other breeds that do this.. not even other terriers.. Everyone just got to love Westies! =)
My Westie will watch if he sees or hear dog on TV. But thet is only for a short bit... Westies are such cool dogs.. We love ours with every bit of love we have...Thanks for Posting!
My Norfolk Terrier does the same thing! He LOVES movies starring dogs. I watched the entire "Step Dogs" movie, which was awful, but he was loving it and I didn't have the heart to change the channel.
Our Scottish terrier used to watch Spongebob, on a regular basis. He would sit on the ottoman & stay glued to the tube, through the entire cartoon. LOL!
And this is why i LOVE westies ! just look how perfect they are , they get involved , they react , they have something to say , and oh they are funny and so well behaved . Mine is a sweet little angel also . best doggies ever !
I thought my Westie was the only one to watch TV! He loves nature programs - he recognizes David Attenborough's voice, and will run from the bedroom to the living room to watch. He can even tell which commercials are on by the music in them, and will run to see his favourites.
My white and cream coloured Cairn Terrier Charlie (Westies were bread from Cairns) loves to watch TV , especially any animal, zoo or nature related movies. He also recognised specific advertisements featuring animals. There is one add featuring numerous dogs and cats but out of all of these animals he welcomes ALWAYS one specific dachshund with different noises /howling then looks around to see where his friend is . Once realising that he is gone/the add ended, he is so disappointed 😔 ❤️🐾
OMG!!! First of all I Just Love Animals, but my passion is for DOGS!! I couldnt believe the full attention that Sweetheart Molly had for that movie!! My dog passed about 4 yrs ago and miss him so very much!! Molly is so lucky and so is yr other cutie to have you for their Mom!! I guess it looked like she may have watched the whole movie and like a good mom you had the patience to let her watch it with no interruptions from you! How is Molly and also yr other cutie doing today? Hope all is well and you too, wonderful mom! Many Blessings to you and Stay Safe! 💞🐕🐾😊
Westies are very intelligent but very nosey fur babies, there just such loving loyal gentle dogs with so much love. I adore the breed. And can have such a hatred for cats.
Our Westie Grace loves watching tv. She can be outside sunning on the deck, hear a commercial that she knows has animals, runs inside thru the doggie door waiting to attack lol lol. Mind you, this is the same Westie that jumps in the air trying to get military helicopters as they fly low heading to the bombing range.
Many Westies are visually very acute. Our "Darwin" was fascinated with TV-- he loved Animal Planet. He also reacted to irregularities in humans. We have a videotape of him watching a Jay Leno "Iron Jay" skit back in the mid-1990s, and he went berserk! Our Westie puppy Tycho is also a TV watcher. We caught her watching NASCAR at just a few months old. LOL
My westieWatched tv as well! We had to hold onto her collar when animal planet was on. She would go in the room right behind the tv, to see if the animals were there. What a riot! Other dogs that we have had never did this.
last year i was taking care of a westie while the owners were on holiday and when any animal appeared on the television she would do the same as this one. Very funny. From what i see looking at these comments this seems to be quite common with this breed
Lost my Westie this year..it’s our first Christmas without him and he would also watch movies..I swear all westies act the same as I’m watching these clips..he died on Saint Patrick’s day 2 months shy of turning 19.
My mum has two Westies. One especially loves TV, barks at animals (esp horses and bears, no idea why!) but watches quietly certain human movies. The other week she watched Stallone's cheesy action film Cobra from start to end without taking her eyes off the screen, ears up and tail wagging during the action bits! Freaky to see, but funny! Took a pic but wish I'd videoed her!
I love this. My mom had a westie that liked watching billiards. When the ball went in the pocket he looked for it behind the tv. She got her first westie when I was 14 and had several. I have one as well thinking of getting another.
My cockapoos LOVE watching TV. Elli perks up and jumps in my lap whenever there's a movie on, and Teddy runs over whenever he hears a dog barking on screen. Sometimes he runs to the window and looks around like he thinks he has a visitor.
My westie does the exact same thing when any animal comes on screen... she also broke the dvd player like this, whoops... One time there were sheep on tv but they walked off so she couldn’t see them anymore and she went to look behind the tv, I laughed so hard!
My wee westie Molly got put to sleep last year. They are an absolutely remarkable dog. I too loved watching this video although seeing other westies is always bitter sweet. My thoughts are with you. xx
Lord im about to cry i had to put my baby apples down 1.3.2020 right off of vacation from lung disease omg i cant stop crying i love her so much she almost 14 yrs old. Mama love u Apples
One of my westies watched TV, and no matter where he was in the house, if he heard a dog food commercial or any other commercial with a dog in it, he'd run to the TV and watch. My other westie couldn't care less about TV.
My Chihuahua loves watching tv too. When he sees any animal, he goes insane. He also barks at people fighting or running after each other. My other dogs couldn't care less.
My westie, tujague, watches tv - mostly likes commercials with dogs in them. He can be dead asleep and hear the beginning of a commercial where a dog is going to appear, and wakes up, runs to the tv, and unfortunately, barks his head off. When a movie has a dog or dogs in it, he jumps like this one does, and barks until I yell "stop it" and "no" - then he walks back & forth still watching the movie, but now groans and moans. It is quite funny, and lately, he has been watching other animals as well, but less or no barking - unless it's a dog!!! He also does this with cartoon dogs, or pictures of dogs on tv
Our Cooper is the only one of three Westies we have that watches TV. He’s especially interested in dogs, and that’s not really surprising. But he also becomes very concerned when humans act as though they’re in trouble. Heavy breathing, showing strong emotions, crying, etc. Kind of amazing, really.
Same, my westie starts barking when someone on the tv is crying 😂
Oh my gosh my Scottie loved TV with animals, especially dogs. She could even recognize dogs when they were just cartoons. It was amazing. Loved the video.
That is sooooo cute. It's amazing how all dogs share similar behaviors but they also have their own unique characteristics. He's a sweetie pie for sure!
Westies are VERY intelligent!! This little doggie knows what she likes! Thanks for the post! :)
I quite agree.They assimilate information very well.
Yes they're Awesome. 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
My Westie loved watching the Westminister dog show with me. He would wait for the terriers and bark like crazy for his favorite. Love this video 🥰
My westie passed away under anaethetic 6 weeks ago. He was only 5. I've cried every day since then. The light in my life has disappeared. Rest well my sweet little fella Herbie.
Treasure westies, they are the best.
Oh my goodness! you need another Westie or two! We have two. Can't imagine life without them!

"gap" and " energy"..
WESTIES RULE !!!!
Once a Westie lover ---ALWAYS ONE !!
Wow! Molly is very tuned in. She is adorable. I had 2 Westies in my past a father Buddy and son Wally.
Thanks for sharing! Love Westies!
My westie did the exact same thing whenever a dog appeared onscreen. He was so cute, especially when he tilted his head to the side.
My Westie always watched TV. He would bark his head off at any animal - not just dogs. He often didn't like background music either. He had a great, happy, spoiled life and lived to be just over 14 years old. Best dogs but stubborn!! Love Westies!!
Love how she gets comfy as she watches tv. My Westie loved Animal Planet. I still miss her.
Such an adorable Westie!
And yeah, they'll watch movies...they'll do whatever interests them! =]
Our 11 year old westie watches t v all the time !!! She has her own full size chair she love and she recognizes the music from certain commercials that have dogs in them . When the music plays , she could be in the back bedroom and she'll run and sits in front of the t v waiting for the dog to come on so she can bark in recognition .
Our Westie Grace does the same thing lol
My Westie constantly watches tv, does just the same, even loves cartoon dogs and horses! She is now watching this on my laptop and enjoying it too.

So cute!! Ive never seen a dog watch a complete movie with such focus...Our Westie will watch tv sometimes but for a short amount of time.
My little Fritzie did the same thing when she wasn't chasing critters on our ranch. We miss her so much. My best friend ever.
She is so absorbed by the movie. Like she wants to understand so badly.
EXACTLY hahaha
I'm afraid my Westie had an accident the third Saturday he had accident he got too excited
Molly is an amazing Westie. Thank you for the post.
My Norfolk Terrier does the same thing! He LOVES movies starring dogs. I watched the entire "Step Dogs" movie, which was awful, but he was loving it and I didn't have the heart to change the channel.
Lori Thom my poodle used to watch basketball games when she was younger. She tried to chase the ball. LOL!
lol
My grandfather's Westie is the same way, except he barks a lot more.
I adore the breed. Had a westie for over 15 years...they are real smart
My Westie does this! He barks at adverts with animals, films, TV shows with animals. Crazy :p
Molly is precious & she has wonderful taste in movies! Keep on rockin' Molly!!!
Our Scottish terrier used to watch Spongebob, on a regular basis. He would sit on the ottoman & stay glued to the tube, through the entire cartoon. LOL!
My Westie loves 'Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey'. He will watch all of it, then leave the room as soon as it finishes :)
Our Westie Bonnie used to do the same thing. We lost her 18 months ago (she was 13 years old) and still miss her very much.
And this is why i LOVE westies ! just look how perfect they are , they get involved , they react , they have something to say , and oh they are funny and so well behaved . Mine is a sweet little angel also . best doggies ever !

Cute! My westie does the same.. I have to turn on the TV every day and watch her fav channel which is animal planet :D
Awwww so cute I did not think westie could watch movies 🐶🐶
Westies are very intelligent but very nosey fur babies, there just such loving loyal gentle dogs with so much love. I adore the breed. And can have such a hatred for cats.
My Westie Brandy does the same thing. She's a fan of the Stuart Little movies. I hope your Westie brings you as much joy as my Brandy does.
They are two dogs.JUST AMAZING!!

My Cairn Terrior love watching outdoor shows and dog shows. He used to sit on the ottoman too.
Lost my Westie this year..it’s our first Christmas without him and he would also watch movies..I swear all westies act the same as I’m watching these clips..he died on Saint Patrick’s day 2 months shy of turning 19.
Mine will occasionally glance and react, but won't actually watch. Very nice video. Thanks for uploading.

My Westie, Wesley, loved seeing animals on tv.
My westie, Scarlett, loves watching TV - and when she spots a dog she goes nuts. :)
That is hilarious!!! I wish I could see this! Pets are so funny/cute!
Are Westies the most clever & adorable white furry pups in the whole wide world? & we love them.🎇
Westies Mr Personality
Never a dull moment '
Best companions ever
My Westie loved tv. Smart little dogs.
My Westie watches television too! Her favourite movie is The Green Mile. She just has to hear the intro and she comes running! 😁
I miss my westie, she loved watching TV.
Haha, the dog looks so cute. She is so absorbed in the movie :)
My westie does the exact same thing when any animal comes on screen... she also broke the dvd player like this, whoops...
One time there were sheep on tv but they walked off so she couldn’t see them anymore and she went to look behind the tv, I laughed so hard!
Our westie Lue is same! Watching tv all time. and his favorite program is animal planet! :)
My Westie does this too! Must be a uniquely Westie trait. :)
My westie loves watching TV more than me... xD Just like yours, when there are dogs he jumps on the TV xD
My Maltese Snowy does the exact thing watches the tv and jumps up at the tv screen when he sees a dog.
so smart and beautiful!also funny ahahah..the dogs are the best in the world
I thought my Westie loved watching tv this Westie takes it to a new level.
0:26 "I think I'll start with the chilly cheese donut" and her head tilts. Then she goes crazy. "CHEESE!!! CHEESE!!!"
Oh my god, Westies love cheese.
This has made my day as my westie got put down cause of cancer
oh so sorry to hear that
My wee westie Molly got put to sleep last year. They are an absolutely remarkable dog. I too loved watching this video although seeing other westies is always bitter sweet. My thoughts are with you. xx
My westie Nabbie loves watching the Disney animated movie "Bolt", and dreams of being a superhero dog!
Now that's what I call focus! Watched till the end. As did I
Lord im about to cry i had to put my baby apples down 1.3.2020 right off of vacation from lung disease omg i cant stop crying i love her so much she almost 14 yrs old. Mama love u Apples
that is an unbelievably cute dog.
So cute...she’s probably wondering how they are talking and when she will get to. Lol
I had to buy a new TV because of this... My westie is even more crazy while watching tv...
My westie boy knows the sounds of commercials with dogs in them....and freaks out before they come on screen! He watches tv like a people!
My westie watched TV too and goes crazy at any animal on TV
Μy Charlie watches TV too!So fanatic that sometimes I can't ! :) Now he is watching your Molly and has started noises...He is westy too!
what a beautiful dog !
WOW,it is so beatifull dog!!!!!!!
One of my westies watched TV, and no matter where he was in the house, if he heard a dog food commercial or any other commercial with a dog in it, he'd run to the TV and watch. My other westie couldn't care less about TV.
i also have westie and my dog watch movies too !!! and she love it !
My westie did the same thing :) Unfortunately he past out last year :) This dogs are awesome
Hilarious - never mind MTV, we need WTV, so funny and so cute. Please make more lol
My westie jumps at the screen , every time your jumps
This Westie is so gorjuss 🐾❤
My dads westie does the same thing, she goes absolutely mental when she sees either Captian Kirk or another dog on tv.
My Chihuahua loves watching tv too. When he sees any animal, he goes insane. He also barks at people fighting or running after each other. My other dogs couldn't care less.
Simply Westies. So cute!!!!
so cute!!!
My westie, tujague, watches tv - mostly likes commercials with dogs in them.

It is quite funny, and lately, he has been watching other animals as well, but less or no barking - unless it's a dog!!! He also does this with cartoon dogs, or pictures of dogs on tv
It's weird seeing a Westie sit like a normal dog. Mine sits directly on her butt, and it's hilarious to look at.
My Wesite's watch tv also.... and have the same reaction to animals when they come on!
Our westie also does this, and she reacts to electric guitar sounds too. She circles around the guitar amp and tries to see inside it.
